Chapter 487: Brother, Cat Rice Is Really Delicious
"Damn, cacti can still be eaten as a dish!"
An Xiaoxiao's words suddenly made the whole restaurant quiet, and everyone's eyes looked at her in surprise, that kind of green blocky mysterious dish...... Is it a cactus?
Obviously, very few people knew what cacti tasted like, so they all became very confused.
Lin Wei frowned, and asked An Xiaoxiao strangely: "Cactus?" Tiny, how do you know? ”
"Because I've eaten it." An Xiaoxiao seemed a little nervous about everyone's gaze, but still explained, "When I was a child, I followed my uncle as a beggar, and at that time there was often no meal, I was greedy for hemp at that time, and once I saw other children eating mung bean cake I couldn't eat, and found that the cactus was also green, so I made a piece and pulled out the thorns to eat...... Well, I was about five years old, but I will never forget the bitter taste for the rest of my life - although this green, lumpy thing has been improved, it is only slightly bitter and has a hint of sweetness, but the astringency is not wrong, this is definitely a cactus! ”
An Xiaoxiao's words once again made everyone a little unsure of what to think: I tasted this cactus when I was five years old, so I haven't forgotten the taste until now, and just now she only ate one bite and tasted this mysterious dish is a cactus?
Well, if you are not the apprentice of the God of Food, they will definitely laugh off their big teeth directly, how can there be such a powerful person, and the taste of more than ten years ago can still be remembered so clearly.
An Xiaoxiao was a little nervous and looked at Ye Chui: "Master? ”
Ye Trai also looked at the two plates of green lumpy dishes again, and after a moment, he looked at Manny who was standing next to him.
Manny didn't move Chinese, but looking at everyone's expressions, he could probably guess what the answer was probably said by the little girl, so he turned to look at a waiter next to him and asked in English, "What did she just say?" ”
"This little girl is so interesting!" The waiter said with a smile. "He even said that our green dish is cactus, haha...... Cactus, he really dares to say, can cacti be eaten? Hey? Mr. Manny, why is your face so ugly, you ......"
The waiter's words were contagious, as Manny's reaction was now somewhat surprised, as if it clearly meant something.
The rest of the restaurant also looked at Manny curiously, and Manny's reaction undoubtedly made them all understand a fact: that mysterious green lumpy dish......
It turned out to be a cactus!?
"Xiaoxiao, you're so amazing!" Lin Wei immediately exclaimed.
An Xiaoxiao also understood that she probably guessed correctly. She smiled hesitantly, but looked at Ye Chui.
Well, what she was looking forward to most at this time was to hear Ye Chui's praise.
"Well, it's amazing." Ye Chui smiled and nodded at An Xiaoxiao, and then a little depressed - when the Mexican restaurant withdrew from green cuisine, he thought to himself that although his little taste buds were powerful, he had never eaten Mexican food, so he subconsciously ignored An Xiaoxiao, and as a result, An Xiaoxiao was still so sharp......
I knew it was like this. Isn't there no need to worry about it these days?
Ye Chui took the fork and forked a piece of green food from Lin Wei's plate and put it in his mouth, with a slightly astringent and slightly sweet taste, which is unique. It seems to be a cactus that has undergone special cultivation.
There is no tradition of eating cacti in China, but it can be used as medicine, it is a traditional Chinese medicine, and there has always been such a way as eating cactus in traditional Mexican cuisine. In fact, Ye had already guessed that this green dish might be a cactus, and he was even prepared if no one guessed the correct answer. He would find someone to go in and dine, and then go straight to the answer from the cactus.
But now it seems that it is unnecessary, and his three apprentices are really very powerful.
"This mysterious green dish is really a cactus?"
"Cactus smells like this? I went back and plucked the cactus at home to try. ”
"Don't, this is a specially cultivated cactus, can it be the same thing as what grows in your home?"
"Today is a thorough experience."
There was a lot of talking.
Then, someone who had already had good things directly posted the scene that had just happened on the Internet.
Around the god of food Ye Trai is now a hot topic, some time ago the Internet was still saying that Ye Trai met an opponent, a mysterious dish made by the world chef god of the Mexican restaurant stumped everyone, but it turned out that Ye Trai's third apprentice just tasted a bite, and tasted what the ingredients were.
That kind of casual energy can't be experienced without being on the scene.
An Xiaoxiao's photos were also posted on the Internet, and many people said that they would treat An Xiaoxiao as a goddess.
And the three official apprentices under Ye Chui's name were also exposed one by one, the scrambled egg Xi Shi of the ecstasy rice is Ye Chui's second apprentice, An Xiaoxiao is the third apprentice, and as for the eldest apprentice, Tian Xiaodu, who is now a six-star chef, has become the weakest one......
At this moment, in the Mexican restaurant, Manny's face was ugly, and his eyes were staring at Ye Hang in a daze.
Ye Chui just smiled faintly, and said to him in English: "I tasted your green food, so I didn't have to pay for it, right?" ”
Manny: "......"
These words are an absolute insult!
Ye Chui had already taken Lin Wei and An Xiaoxiao to stand up.
He smiled and glanced at Manny, then left the Mexican restaurant with one in one hand.
The reason why the business of Mexican restaurants has been on the rise recently is because of this mysterious green dish, and now An Xiaoxiao has broken through the sky, the so-called green cuisine is just a specially cultivated cactus, which suddenly makes the original mysterious food no longer have any mystery at all, and then, the traffic of Mexican restaurants immediately dropped to the beginning.
It was on this night.
On the daily profit ranking, the gap between Gloomy Ecstasy Rice and Mexican restaurants is only a few hundred yuan, and in the next few days, Gloomy Ecstasy Rice is even more victorious, surpassing Mexican restaurants and becoming the first place in the daily profit ranking, and there is only a gap of less than 3,000 yuan with Mexican restaurants in the total profit ranking.
The fifteenth day of the opening of Huaxia Food City, that is, June 15.
"This is the Bendry Festival." In the small courtyard behind the Manhan Building, Lin Wei'an was quiet and Wang Shiyu was gathered around the stone table under the locust tree, looking at the pieces of things placed on the table that showed the shape of a shuttle, taking things that looked like wood but not wood, like beautiful jade, but not jade, it was the dry festival made by the leaf hanging in the past few days, that is, the bonito.
It is a food unique to Japan and a must in making Japanese dashi.
"The weather has been very good these days, and this dry festival is naturally much faster." Ye Trai said with a smile.
This is a very difficult step in making this dry festival, and this unique ingredient is one of the few in the world that is made with mold.
To make this dry knot, raw cod is made, the internal organs and head are removed, the meat is cut into long strips and cooked, the bones are removed, and the oak is burned to dry the water in the meat, a process that is repeated because it is impossible to completely dry the meat at one time.
After drying, it should be cooled at room temperature, and then continued to roast for nearly 10 times, until the moisture in the fish will drop to less than 30%, and at this time, a layer of tar will adhere to the surface of the fish.
At this time, put the fish in a dark and damp place overnight, the surface of the fish will be stained with moisture, remove the tar and put it in a humid room, the fish will begin to grow mold, the first time the mold is called a mold, after the mold grows, you need to bask in the sun for two days, wipe off the mold and continue to put it in a humid room to let it continue to grow mold.
If this is repeated several times, the moisture content of the fish will drop to less than 20%, and the dry season will be completed.
"Master, is this kind of thing really delicious?" An Xiaoxiao asked with some curiosity while playing with a dry knot in her hand.
Lin Wei spoke directly with actions: "Ye Chui, I want to eat...... You seem to have said that you can make something called cat rice with this dry festival? I want to eat! ”
"I want to eat it too!" Wang Shiyu shouted loudly.
"Alright then, I'll cook you a cat meal." Ye Trai said with a smile.
Cat rice is definitely the most direct, simplest and most authentic meal in this dry festival, and even the method is a little too simple.
He asked Lin Wei and a few other girls to weigh a few small bowls of rice, and then took the board himself, and carefully cut off some thin slices on the top of the dry festival with a kitchen knife.
"Is it that simple?" Lin Wei was a little disappointed, originally thinking that cat rice was something great.
"Cat rice is such a simple thing, in fact, it is not a supreme delicacy, eat more but still feelings." Ye Trai smiled and said, "Try it and see how it tastes." ”
In fact, in the consciousness of cat rice is not a great delicacy, even many Japanese chefs do not know about this kind of thing, and what makes cat rice suddenly famous comes from a Japanese drama, which is a food drama series, and the theme of one episode is cat rice, accompanied by a sad story, which makes this simple rice popular.
At that time, there was a variety show on Treasure Island, and a guest made cat rice for the host to taste, but the result was not very good.
At this moment, after Lin Wei and Wang Shiyu'an had a small snack and a cat meal, they were all a little disappointed, thinking that this kind of thing was not a delicacy at all, Ye Chui smiled and didn't say anything.
Then he was suddenly stunned, dragging the rice bowl in his hand quietly, and his face showed a bit of enjoyment: "Brother, the cat rice is really delicious." (To be continued......)
PS: The treasure island show mentioned in the chapter is kxll, and there is a food feature in which a guest made cat rice, and then everyone thought it was not delicious...... I was quite unhappy when I watched that issue~~~
